  1. This story is about a girl who has lost his father. Then her mother found a new boy and they start to live together.
    The girl meets a mysterious boy and she falls in love and they're going to marry. But who is the boy?... and who does he want?...

    We think that the story is very interesting because of the intrigue atmosphere in all over the story.

    We highly recommend you this book because when you start to read it, you can't stop 'till the end and also you can learn some tricks to solve mysteries.

  3. USE OF DRUGS.
    Ivan, Diego, Alejandro, Alberto.


    Holmes was an addict of cocaine. He often used a special syringe when he didn’t have any stimulating cases which he keeps in a leather case.
    He often used morphine. And he wasn’t a user of opium. The three drugs were legal in the 19th-century in Great Britain.
    The doctor Watson didn’t have medical objections to Holmes´ used drugs.
